Matthew 12:47 in context

The verses around it, from Matthew 12.

43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48 But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49 Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
